           Summary:  hlink.c:480: finish_hard_link: Assertion `flist !=
                    ((void *)0)' failed.
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: brian_lindholm at users.sourceforge.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Running command-line as follows:

rsync --stats --modify-window=30 --links --hard-links --verbose --times -P -p \
  --recursive --delete --exclude="known_hosts" --exclude=".Xauthority" \
  --exclude=".ssh" /home/archive /backup/archive

Get the following error message:

rsync: hlink.c:480: finish_hard_link: Assertion `flist != ((void *)0)' failed.
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
rsync: unlink "/home/archive/Sermons_1/Music" failed: Is a directory (21)
unexpected tag 107 [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 134) at io.c(1169) [sender=3.0.2]

Rsync reports a failure when attempting to unlink a directory on the *SOURCE*
side.  I didn't ask it to delete *anything* on the source side.  Holy crap!

Unfortunately, the error is not repeatable.  A repeat of the command finished
the transfer without incident.

This error happens about one out of 20 rsync runs.  It's been present since
rsync-3.0.0.  I never saw anything like it with rsync-2.6.9.
